For this week’s writing challenge, shake the dust off something — a clothing item, a post draft, a toy — you haven’t touched in ages, but can’t bring yourself to throw away.

Yearbooks, middle school, high school, and college. Things that I couldn’t wait to get at the time, but things that just sit on the shelf gathering dust. At the time, they represented who I was, but now, I don’t even really want to think about who I was then.
